“During the trip, several
members of the fraternity urinated on the carpet,
dismantled furniture, put baseball bats through
walls, ripped down ceiling tiles, broke fixtures off
the walls and damaged other property. The toll:
about $430,000 in damages.”

“According to a report submitted
to the U.S. Department of Justice in 2007, 89
percent of sexual assault survivors reported
drinking alcohol and 82 percent said they were drunk
at the time of the incident.”

“The first home game against Appalachian State
University was not only first-year sa President Mark
Schlissel’s first exposure to Michigan football, but
to the University’s culture of alcohol consumption
on campus. And after seeing students drinking on
rooftops and struggling to stand up, Schlissel said
he was terrified.”

“Officials expect fans to celebrate with alcohol but
350 students and community "ambassadors" have been
meeting students on and off campus, and encouraging
those who are legally old enough to drink
responsibly, pace themselves, eat and stay safe. “

Various campus have regular alcohol-free events as
an alternative to unavoidable exposure to drinking.
“Michigan's biweekly "UMix" parties draw as many as
1,000 students for roller skating, film screenings
or trivia or karaoke contests, but the university
doesn't promote them as alcohol-free. That would
suggest that "the main event is at a bar or a frat
party and the secondary event is here.”

Michigan joins many other states with a medical
amnesty when Michigan’s governor signed a bill which
“provides medical amnesty for minors who seek
treatment for alcohol poisoning either for
themselves or another person.”
